WFL - Horsham has rewritten the record books, storming home against Warrack Eagles to claim a tenth straight Wimmera Football League flag.

Ten in a row for Demons

It was standing room only at Stawell's Central Park on Saturday, with the Wimmera Football League grand final attracting a record crowd. Many described the crowd as being equivalent to an Easter Monday, with people being forced to park their cars hundreds of metres from the ground. Picture: ROB STEWART AND ZANE SMITH.

Warrack started the match promisingly, with Steve Schultz
winning plenty of the ball out of the middle and talented young forward Jesse Murphy
firing as their side took a 14 point lead at quarter time.

Dan Krahe extended that margin early in the second term
before Horsham then hit back, booting six goals to go into the half time break
14 points up.

Warrack once again challenged the Demons early in the third
term, but goals to Jordy Burke and Dylan Parish saw Horsham regain control to
lead by 18 points at the final change.

A goal to Murphy in the opening minute of the final quarter
put the Eagles within striking distance.

However from there, it was all Horsham - the Demons scored
eight of the last 10 goals to run out 47 point winners 21.11 (137) to 13.12
(90).

Parish finished with eight goals and Jeremy Hartigan three
for the Demons, while up the other end, Murphy bagged five and Krahe contributed
with three.

Hard working Horsham onballer Nick Pekin was awarded The
Greg Binns Medal for best on ground.

Other worthy contenders were young Demons midfielder Jake
Lloyd and Dylan Parish for his tremendous effort in the forward line.
